I wanted to show you my scepter.

I wanted to show you my boa.

I live where Lynch was born, the first lynching supposedly took place about 1000 yards from here,
at least that what the locals keep telling me,
now that I've lived here awhile I believe them.

I'll come home soon.
And you and Prol and TGO and 2LY and Hans will make me feel better about the fact that I'll never be able to afford to live there.

You'll tell me tales of steeple chases where people tailgate in Lexus SUVs with full silver service. And tales of boys in khakis and blue blazers walking Corgies. And I'll remember why I moved out West.

And then we'll go to the Shenandoah and kick a little white trash ass.

Yeah, like she knows how to tease.

I had a picture of Gen. Wm. T. Sherman prominently displayed in my car just to piss off the white trash passengers when I used to work in our East End. I also would flaunt the fact that my Great Grandfather Jake was the First Sgt of the NY 2d Artillery(Heavy), and they shelled the crap out of that very same area some 140yrs ago. Here's an interesting conversation starter: " Hey! Didn't my Great-Grandfather and his Army kick the shit out of your Great-Grandfather and his Army?!"
I'd like to think Jake was proud of me.

I'm a big fan of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlin.
Stole a piece of Little Round Top at Gettysburg my last trip.

That would involve game-playing.
Abby don't play dat.

Ok, Kirk, I'm lost.
Was lynching named after a person?
Or was there someone named "Lynch" and it all went downhill from there?
My AP History class never covered this.

Maybe this will help.

A shot in the Balz™ should be worth something.

lynching was nameds after the same person that Lynchburg was named after.

Virginia is always #1


in the worst things . . .


We'll miss you Abby. As for Jack -- put the xit in the big red box, I'm bringing booze with me.

Will do. Come home soon.

I'm making one tomorrow for some of the regulars at my favorite dive, having everyone over before we start the night out.

I'm not bringing any sausage, too complicated.
let's just grab some Ethiopian.

Ethiopian would be great!

(and I'm bringing booze.)

This place is on 18th NW in Adams-Morgan, can't be too far away....Meskerem Ethiopian

A few blocks north of the hotel.

Sound good! Looking forward to it.

Is this happening tonight or tomorrow? I have conflicting information.

Or maybe it's both.

Regardless my attendance will be problematic until tomorrow night at best. My regrets.

there better be an assload of pictures posted here on monday.

that's all i'm sayin

What CG said.
And take the camera into the museum, too, please.

I don't know which night they wanted to go get dinner, I won't be there until tomorrow morning. Someone let me know when you are headed to the gallery, otherwise I'll go straight to the hotel and listen for the chants of "One of us, one of us..."

Or you could just follow the yellow crime scene tape.

Hmmm....funny you should say that. DC will have more Police than at any other time this weekend, for Police Memorial Week. Sunday is the LawRide, so there will be several thousand cops on motorcycles riding through town that morning.

Ethiopians aren't very tastey - they're quite grizzly and don't have much meat, while Americans are well marbled.

Just watch for the News 'Copters circling.

Sent a text to TGO last night and got a call back. Sounds like fun there! Nice to talk to a few of you! More importantly, I wish I could be there enjoying the socializing, sampling , and the Art exhibit today!

Edited: I found them.










my brain hurts.

Pictures, please.
Like NOW.


KThanks.

YEP, that would be, like; nice!

That would be very funny if it weren't true.

As, I was leaving the hotel this morning to catch a train back to my truck, someone decided today was his/her day to step in front of one of the Metro trains, and they closed three stations.

Other than the extra bus ride, complete with my bag and a pair of wormwood plants (thanks Kirk), the entire weekend was a great success.

Can't wait to do it up again...

Cheers

Who the F**K is Syphil-ish?

Thanks TGO for putting it together, and especially for wearing that shirt. Otherwise I would have been back at the hotel finishing this conversation:

Hotel Clerk:"May I help you?"
Me:"I'm supposed to meet a group here, they're supposed to be in a mini-suite"
-"We have alot of suites, give me a name and I'll be glad to it look up"
-"Um, I don't know any of their names"
-"Well, what kind of group is it?"
-"Um, well, they're here to see an art exhibit"
-"You don't know any of their names???"
-"Um, no, I met them on the internet"
Clerk laughs at me. I walk out .

Thanks everyone there for the good time.

What was the shirt?

pictures, cunts.

Maybe this?

or it might have been....

I'll post some pics tonight after I get home from work including some from the gallery.

You do that.
The fact that pics made it up onto some other site first...
For shame, Loungers.

The only pic I've seen from the fest is in Sixela's label post...didn't know any had surfaced anywhere.

the sacrificial table

Not a bad spread you have there! BTW.. a perfectly good shirt theory shot to heck!

I remembered that walking stick after I was off the phone the other night, that sure looks like a nice one!

The rocker is the xit:

Does anyone have pictures of his shoes?
